TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan Water Corporation (TWC), a state-owned enterprise that provides water supply services across most parts of Taiwan, is mulling a plan to increases water fees next year.
Except for Taipei City and a number of districts and neighborhoods in New Taipei City, which are subject to the Taipei Water Department, the TWC is responsible for water supply across the rest of the country.
TWC has not altered water fees for 23 years.
The company has commissioned an outside company to evaluate the possibility of modifying charges for water supply, reports Central News Agency. The evaluation report will go through an internal review next January before being submitted to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, its supervising agency, for approval. [FULL STORY]
